Unveiling Derby MADE: New Insights into the Market Place Vision Redevelopment

Visualisation of Derby redevelopment at Market Place

A New Era for Derby’s Market Place: Primed for Growth

Derby’s city centre is on the verge of a landmark transformation. With the unveiling of the Derby MADE project, the historic Market Place is set to reclaim its status as the city’s premier social and economic hub. For those of us with deep roots in this area, these developments represent a significant milestone in the city’s evolution.

Design of new public square at Market Place

A Strategic Vision for the Assembly Rooms

The proposed redevelopment of the former Assembly Rooms site, led by Derby City Council in partnership with VINCI UK and ION Developments, is a masterclass in urban regeneration. The plan introduces:

• Grade A Infrastructure: High-spec office spaces designed to anchor major businesses within the city core.

• Premium Hospitality: A flagship four-star hotel to drive tourism and overnight stays.

• Cultural Hub: A flexible, multi-purpose venue that ensures the Market Place remains a 24/7 destination.

• Public Realm Enhancements: Modern, green-infused urban design that prioritizes walkability and community connection.

Unlocking Value for Our Market Place Tenants

As owners of property in Market Place (adjacent to the Assembly Rooms), we see this redevelopment as a major catalyst for our community. This project directly enhances the experience and environment for our current tenants by:

• Increasing Local Vibrancy: The influx of professionals and visitors will create a high-energy atmosphere right outside their front door.

• Improving Lifestyle Amenities: Our tenants will benefit from world-class leisure, dining, and cultural facilities within seconds of their residence or workspace.

• Boosting Property Prestige: The transition of the Assembly Rooms into a modern landmark fundamentally elevates the status of the entire Market Place area.

"By integrating modern architecture with the historic character of the square, Derby MADE isn't just building new structures; it’s reinforcing the value of the existing community."

What Comes Next for Market Place, Derby

The project is currently progressing through the final stages of review following extensive public consultation. As the vision moves into the construction phase, we remain committed to ensuring our property at Market Place continues to offer a premium experience that reflects the exciting future of the city.

The transformation of the Market Place is more than just a redevelopment—it’s a promise of long-term vitality for the city and a clear win for our tenants.
